Obstetrics: Some Current Problems.

Abstract

Of the 14 concise but detailed reviews in this issue, 10 are concerned with problems of importance in internal medicine as well as in obstetrics. These topics are folate metabolism and reproduction (B. M. and E. D. Hibbard); water and electrolytes (Hytten and Thomson); cardiovascular dynamics (Kerr); diabetes (Wright, Dixon, and Joplin); failure of coagulation (Scott); jaundice (Sherlock); asymptomatic bacteriuria (Beard and Roberts); renal failure (Smith, Browne, Shackman, and Wrong); and pituitary necrosis (Sheehan and Davis). A valuable survey for clinicians.
